Gillipaw's Journal

By Gillipaw

Charity, Houldsworth Memorial, Glasgow Necropolis

"Charity", holding a child, on the John Houldsworth of Cranston Hill Mausoleum, designed by J. Thomas 1845.

We booked onto a three hour walking tour of the Necropolis today. Over 50,000 buried here since 1832. I have learnt so much about the history of the city, and the Merchants House of Glasgow.

More information here. You have to book in advance, these tours are very popular.

A beautiful, blue sky day, so much so, I've got sunburn on my face .... in March!

CJ's Necropolis detail here - his first Blip since 1 Jan!

Very late Blips for the last two days start here.
